John 1 says “For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” So what does this mean? What does the surrounding context imply? How is this to be interpreted with the rest of Scripture? Join us as we dig into an often misrepresented verse.
1 John 2:6 says to walk in the way in which he walked. What does it mean to walk like Christ? What does that look like and what is the context of John’s statement. Some say it refers to the law of Christ, others to the Torah. Which one best fits the context?
Justification, Sanctification, and Salvation explores how Scripture connects these three essential aspects of the believer’s walk. This short teaching explains how justification changes our status before God, how sanctification shapes our ongoing obedience, and how salvation is the final outcome secured by Messiah and displayed through a transformed life. Together, they reveal the beautiful harmony between faith, obedience, and eternal hope.
Scriptures referenced: Romans 3:28; 1 John 5:2–3; Matthew 7:16; 2 Corinthians 13:5; Romans 6:22; Ezekiel 36:27.
Takeaway: Understanding the biblical relationship between justification, sanctification, and salvation helps us walk in both grace and truth—trusting in Yeshua’s finished work while growing in the obedience that flows from genuine faith.

This teaching uncovers the Hebrew word for grace—chen. Composed of the letters chet and nun, chen conveys the idea of favor or beauty but also separation and protection. It is connected to the root chanan, meaning to encamp or pitch a tent, and thus points to God covering and shielding us. The teaching shows how biblical grace is concrete—God’s favor results in tangible deliverance like Noah and Moses finding chen in God’s eyes.
